Chapter 58 You Can‘t Be Friends With Them
Rosalie had just wanted to call the research institute to let them know that she would be coming bylater.
The person who happened to answer the phone, however, was Yves. He began telling her about aproject that was scheduled for the next two days. There was a group of data in it that he did notunderstand.
Hence, Rosalie discussed it with him. Unexpectedly, she forgot the time the moment they starteddiscussing work.
When she thought about hanging up the call, it was also because she had vaguely heard Byron‘s voicedownstairs. In the end, Rosalie hurriedly concluded their discussion before hanging up the callimmediately and trotting downstairs. She had almost forgotten that Byron would be the one coming byin a bit.
Those two little ones were still down there with Estie.
If Byron were to see them…
At the thought of what might happen, Rosalie panicked.
When she came down to try to stop them from meeting, however, it was obviously too late.
The moment Rosalie came to the corner of the stairs, she saw the man standing by the carpet. Thethree children were head to head picking up Lego blocks on the carpet in front of him, and they werealmost done. Seemingly having heard her coming downstairs, the man turned and looked over, hisexpression indifferent.
Their eyes met. Rosalie could not help her expression from freezing. Clenching her palms, she forcedherself to calm down before saying hello to the man as if nothing had happened.” You‘re here.”
Byron nodded coldly, but his eyes were still on her. The emotions in his gaze were dark and obscure.
When Rosalie thought of her two boys who had been exposed to Byron, she could not help but feelguilty. “So… do you want to take Estie back now, or…”
She was afraid that Byron might want to sit down and talk to her now that he found out about the twochildren.
Byron thought she was indirectly kicking him out, and his expression went slightly cold.” We‘ll beleaving now, don‘t worry. We won‘t remain in your house for too long.” With that, he turned to look atEstie who was still slowly packing up the Lego blocks. “Are you done with cleaning? It‘s time to goback.”novelbin
Estie did not want to leave in the first place and had been deliberately slow in cleaning up, but Lucianand Nox were too swift in their actions. They were nearly done cleaning up.
Hearing her daddy‘s urging, Estie stood up reluctantly and looked at Rosalie standing not far away withwatery eyes.
Meeting the little girl‘s eyes, Rosalie went soft, but Byron was present. It was difficult for her to sayanything comforting because of what had happened yesterday.
“Say thank you to the lady and then come back with me.” Byron‘s tone was cold. Hearing this, Estie‘sexpression softened even more. She looked at Rosalie expectantly, hoping that the beautiful ladywould invite her to come over again next time. After waiting for a while, however, she did not hear aword. Estie lowered her gaze with a look of loss.
“The lady still needs to go to work. Let‘s stop disturbing her,” Byron pressed. Estie gulped slowly asshe picked up her small notebook to write a single ‘thank you‘, though she took quite a while to write it.When she was done, she raised the book to Byron instead.
[Daddy, can we come play with the lady and brothers again next time? I really want to be their friend.]
Everyone saw the line of words. Rosalie and the boys could not bear it, but because of Byron‘sexpression, they still said nothing. Byron swept his gaze across their reactions. Seeing his daughter stilldepending on them, he gritted his teeth.
“No.” The moment he said that, Estie’s expression crumbled and her eyes went red. Lips pursed, shesobbed silently, looking very broken–hearted.
